K331J10C0GF5TL2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The K331J10C0GF5TL2 is a 330 pF ceramic capacitor rated at 50V with C0G/NP0 temperature coefficient, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. This radial through-hole component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are necessary when the original packaging format (Tape & Reel) is unavailable, when alternative lead configurations are required for specific PCB layouts, or when sourcing from alternative manufacturers becomes necessary due to supply constraints.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the K331J10C0GF5TL2 is determined by the following criteria:

Core Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

Capacitance: 330 pF
Tolerance: ±5%
Voltage Rating: 50V
Temperature Coefficient: C0G or NP0
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Mechanical Parameters (Application-Dependent):

Mounting Type: Through Hole (all substitutes)
Package Type: Radial (all substitutes)
Lead Spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm) or 0.197" (5.00mm) depending on PCB design
Lead Style: Straight or Formed Leads

Packaging Format (Supply-Dependent):

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Designs: Select from K331J15C0GF5TL2, K331J15C0GF5TH5, or RDE5C1H331J0K1H03B. All three maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. K331J15C0GF5TL2 is recommended when 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing is required. K331J15C0GF5TH5 or RDE5C1H331J0K1H03B are suitable when 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing is required.

For Legacy or Maintenance Applications: FK18C0G1H331JN020 and FK28C0G1H331JN000 are available as substitutes but carry "Not For New Designs" status. These parts are suitable only for replacement in existing systems where the original specification cannot be modified.

Packaging Considerations: K331J15C0GF5TL2 is available in Cut Tape format with higher inventory (21021 pcs). RDE5C1H331J0K1H03B offers Active status with 0.197" lead spacing and bulk packaging (1065 pcs available).

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance equivalent to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can K331J15C0GF5TL2 replace K331J10C0GF5TL2 directly? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specifications (330 pF, ±5%, 50V, C0G/NP0) and lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm). The difference is packaging format: K331J15C0GF5TL2 is supplied in Cut Tape instead of Tape & Reel. Direct substitution is valid for PCB assembly.

Q: What is the difference between K331J15C0GF5TH5 and K331J15C0GF5TL2? A: Both are Vishay parts with identical electrical specifications. K331J15C0GF5TH5 has 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing with formed leads, while K331J15C0GF5TL2 has 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing with straight leads. Selection depends on PCB pad layout requirements.

Q: Why are FK18C0G1H331JN020 and FK28C0G1H331JN000 marked "Not For New Designs"? A: These TDK parts are legacy products no longer recommended for new circuit designs. They remain available for replacement in existing systems but should not be specified for new development. Use Vishay or Murata alternatives for new designs.

Q: Is RDE5C1H331J0K1H03B compatible with the original K331J10C0GF5TL2? A: Electrically, yes. The Murata RDE5C1H331J0K1H03B maintains all electrical parameters (330 pF, ±5%, 50V, C0G/NP0). However, it has 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing versus the original 0.098" (2.50mm), requiring PCB layout verification before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory equivalence to the original K331J10C0GF5TL2.

Q: What lead spacing should I select for my application? A: Lead spacing is determined by your PCB design. If your PCB is designed for 0.098" (2.50mm) spacing, use K331J10C0GF5TL2, K331J15C0GF5TL2, or FK18C0G1H331JN020. If your PCB requires 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing, use K331J15C0GF5TH5, FK28C0G1H331JN000, or RDE5C1H331J0K1H03B.
